You're a star in the sky
That doesn't shine
At sea, you are sand
That doesn't get wet
Spread across the world 1
Only rocks and sea
Poor land, full of love
It has morna2, it has coladera2
Nice land, full of love
It has batuco2, it has funaná2
Oh, so homesick
longing, longing
Oh, so homesick
endless longing
Small country, I love you very much
Small country, I love it very much
